Doggie Keep Away Game

 Good morning,

Teddy stayed with us for nearly two weeks while his mom, Erica, and our daughter, Catherine, were cruising through the Panama Canal.

Teddy is a great retriever.  In fact, Teddy the Border Collie, is a much better a retriever than our Labrador Retrievers. 

 Here's Elsa, though, standing guard over the slightly worn out and dirty unicorn that Teddy had been retrieving.  She decided she wanted the toy just as human kids do when another is playing with something.  It's not like we don't have more (than 100) other toys!

Anyway, I put Elsa inside and let Teddy retrieve for awhile.  

Even the unicorn survived, but looks much better after a trip through the laundry with Tide and Laundry Sanitizer.

All the best,

Lois

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

 Good morning,

 It was a beautiful day when Serenade of the Seas arrived in Puerto Vallarta.   

 What tickled me is the next picture Erica sent to me.  That's Walmart over there.  :)

After this port there were two sea days, then Serenade of the Seas arrived in Los Angeles where Erica and Catherine departed to come home.

Thanks for taking us along, ladies!

Love you,

Mom

Leaving Huatulco, Mexico

 Good morning,

As Serenade of the Seas sailed away from Huatulco, Mexico, it passed lovely rock formations. 

 The last sight was of a private beach...

 ...as the ship moved on to its next port of call.

Stay tuned!

Dock Runners!

 Good morning,

Balcony guests watching the ship's departure from a port of call often get to see the race against time of dock runners.  Generally, there is a great deal of cheering involved, too.

Some people just can't seem to get back to the ship on time and are lucky if they make the ship after the departure time posted. 

 The cruise ship will only wait for late passengers if they are on a ship sponsored tour.  If you go out on your own, be sure to be back on time!

Words to the wise....

Ashore in Huatulco, Mexico

 Good morning,

Today's images were taken ashore in Huatulco, Mexico, a port of call of Serenade of the Seas. 

 There was local music on the dockside - please leave some cash.  :)

 Photo opportunities...

 A place to stop for a drink...

And, of course, an excellent opportunity to get a great photo of the ship!

I think the last image was the very best.

Thank you, Erica, for sharing your images with us.

All the best,

Lois

Happy Mothers Day!

 Good morning and Happy Mothers Day!

 We hope all mothers enjoy a beautiful day.

 These beautiful peonies grace our yard every year at this time.

They bring back wonderful memories of my Mom.

All the very best,

Lois
